Place of supply, CGST+SGST vs IGST
TiBook picks CGST+SGST or IGST from your state and the party’s billing state. Use the tax toggle and correct addresses for clean GST invoices.
How this looks in TiBook
How to
- 1Open a sales invoice (or other taxed voucher) and select the customer.
- 2TiBook reads place of supply from the customer’s billing address state. It prints on PDF themes that show this field.
- 3Compare your company state (Settings → Company) with the customer’s billing state.
- 4If both states match, line taxes use CGST + SGST (intra-state).
- 5If they differ, line taxes use IGST (inter-state).
- 6Keep Tax turned on in the invoice sidebar unless this document should not show GST.
- 7Save and preview the PDF — the tax column labels should match the supply type.
Fixing wrong tax type
Wrong CGST/IGST almost always means the customer’s billing state or your company address is outdated. Edit the party or company profile, then reopen the invoice — do not manually change tax names on the PDF.
Exports and special cases
For standard B2B billing inside India, state comparison is enough. Unusual scenarios (SEZ, exports) should be confirmed with your CA; TiBook does not file GSTR returns for you.
Always capture the customer’s billing state when you add them — shipping address alone does not drive GST if billing state is blank.
Use GST Detailed theme if your buyers expect a full tax breakup table on the PDF.
